The Saintess's Gift, You're Actually Pretty Nice

Before long, more than a hundred Black Moon Knight, dressed in jet-black armor and wielding long spears, stood in neat formation.

Their black-maned warhorses were also clad in full metal armor, giving them an aura of indestructible solidity.

With the Black Moon spinning overhead, the entire group looked like a pack of silent, steel beasts.

At the lord's command, they will tear everything apart.

"Handsome."

Shen Xing gave a thumbs-up, then let them return to their posts.

He then ordered the lizardmen to collect the armor that had been removed from the ground and throw it into the furnace to break it down into raw materials.

Even though it's only a level 5 green item, we can't waste it.

After all, the territory is gradually growing and expanding, and Lord Shen has to feed thousands of people, so he has to be very careful with his money in many places.

After finishing all that, Shen Xing clapped his hands. "Let's go, Leina, let's go back to our rooms and rest... and cultivate a bit."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired mage beside him had his eyes light up instantly, looking at him with longing.

"Ahem, don't misunderstand..." Shen Xing explained, "I just wanted to test some of the magical theories you just mentioned, to see if they're feasible."

"Yes, I understand, my lord." Leina nodded obediently.

Just as she was pushing her wheelchair, preparing to return to the cabin to cultivate, Shen Xing's communication crystal suddenly lit up.

Onyxia's cool voice rang out. "My lord, I have found an unconscious woman near the territory."

Shen Xing paused upon hearing this, then exchanged a glance with Leina.

A few minutes later.

Shen Xing led a group of generals to gather in the open space at the east gate of the territory.

On the ground lay a familiar, beautiful figure.

A long white dress concealed her slender figure, her face was covered by a hazy veil, and a white headscarf was worn on her head.

It was that Saintess from the Blood Origin Cult.

The equipment she carried seemed to be treasures, possessing built-in repair and cleansing functions.

Last night, during her battle with that knight commander, her skirt was clearly slashed in several places, and blood soaked through her clothes.

But now it's spotless, and even the tear in the hem has healed on its own.

However, these are not the most important things.

The important thing is that this woman actually ran near his territory.

"Could this be... the will of Heaven?"

Shen Xing's expression turned somewhat strange.

Originally, he thought the other party would just run away, since he hadn't been exposed anyway.

Perhaps this woman can cause some trouble for Weideng Royal City after she returns, delaying the time it takes for Lord Haidesen to cleanse the Blackwing Plains.

Unexpectedly, she actually came to him of her own accord.

However, Shen Xing felt no joy at the arrival of prey; instead, he was somewhat worried.

"What should we do with this woman? Should we just kill her?"

After all, this was a genuine Tier Four Master Rank expert, and he was seriously injured.

If we kill it, we might get a Tier Four soul or even some advancement materials.

However, this means that the forces on both sides of Flowing Oil Valley were essentially wiped out, making it hard not to suspect something.

At that time, both the Blood Origin Cult and the Weideng Royal City will definitely send people to investigate thoroughly.

They might trace it back to Shen Xing.

But if we save her, this woman is a Master Rank expert, and also Saintess.

If the other party recovers and repays kindness with enmity, it will also bring considerable trouble to oneself.

Thinking about this, Shen Xing suddenly felt a headache coming on.

At this moment, the old knight Fordring suddenly spoke up, "My lord, I sensed an extremely powerful force of faith emanating from her, as well as a dangerous aura."

"A dangerous aura?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Fordring nodded. "There seems to be a terrifying power sealed within her body; if she faces mortal danger, this power will be triggered and erupt."

Shen Xing narrowed her eyes.

He didn't see any dangerous power within the woman's body.

However, last night through the binoculars I saw that she was clearly critically injured and on the verge of death, about to be Execute by the Knight Commander.

At the crucial moment, it seemed as if some special means were activated, and then it vanished from the spot.

Clearly, Old Fordring's deduction was correct.

After a moment of silence, he made a decision. "Take her back and treat her injuries."

The crowd was somewhat surprised by this, but no one said anything more.

Onyxia bent down, picked up the Blood Origin Saintess from the ground, and walked towards a small wooden house in the territory.

Shen Xing also arranged for Leina to keep watch outside the wooden house, paying close attention to her aura and reporting any abnormalities immediately.

Then, he returned to the Lotus Pond to cultivate.

For the next two and a half days, everything was peaceful and uneventful in the territory.

Apart from the occasional attack on the territory by a large army of Lost One and Slender Ghost, there were no other dangers.

Just as Shen Xing had predicted, the monsters in the mist were also constantly evolving.

The monsters that have recently attacked are all at least Tier Two.

Although the potential is only Common to Elite Rank, many ants can kill an elephant.

If monsters of this caliber were to attack in droves, it would be a devastating blow to any territory.

Fortunately, Shen Xing's improvement rate far exceeded the evolution rate of these monsters.

They didn't even need the troops to take action; the territory's arrow towers could automatically attack and kill these monsters, turning them into Soul Stone and soul fragments scattered all over the ground.

At dawn, the sky was bright.

The inky fog gradually turned into a gray fog, flowing along the edge of the firelight, unable to advance an inch.

In the open space in the northern part of the territory, a tall building rose from the ground.

Three sturdy chimneys stood tall, billowing black smoke from them, and were topped with old-fashioned cast-iron hoods.

Inside the large cast-iron gate, one can see a spacious interior and several large forging tables operating at full power.

[Your territory building: Advanced Blacksmith Shop has been upgraded...]

[Your territory building: Blacksmith Shop has been completed...]

[Your...]

Shen Xing was focused on cultivating on the lotus platform when he slowly opened his eyes after seeing the notification.

From his deep eyes, it seemed as if an invisible force was shooting out, even drawing two streaks on the water surface hundreds of meters in front of him.

This is a sign that the mental energy is too powerful and has solidified into a tangible form.

"Not bad. We've maintained double Time Acceleration for the past three days, and nearly nine days have passed inside the Lotus Pond."

"Through training, my Control over my mental power has improved considerably."

Shen Xing murmured softly, then slowly raised her right hand.

Two metal spheres instantly appeared and began to slowly rotate around him in a complex trajectory.

Furthermore, during flight, the two spheres can maintain different flight speeds and perform different actions.

It can momentarily freeze in mid-air, then circle back and attack the enemy with the momentum of a swallow returning to its nest.

It can also accelerate instantly, striking the target at lightning speed.

Everything was up to him in a single thought.

"Currently, I can control two dark metal spheres with ease, but I'm still a bit short of being able to control three spheres simultaneously."

"As Director Zhang said, with each additional one of these, the mental energy consumption and Control requirements increase several times over."

"It needs time to settle down."

Shen Xing pondered silently, then took out a large pile of Soul Stone, preparing to continue transforming into a ruthless cultivation machine.

At that moment, the communication crystal rang again, and Onyxia's cool voice came through.

"Dragon Lord, that woman has woken up."

Chapter 213: The Saintess's Gift, You're Actually Quite Kind!

"Dragon Lord, that woman has woken up."

Onyxia's cool voice came through the communication crystal.

"Finally awake?"

Shen Xing opened her eyes on the lotus platform and replied, "Understood, I'll be right there."

After saying that, he deactivated the Time Acceleration function and left the Lotus Pond with Leina.

A few minutes later.

Leina pushed Shen Xing's wheelchair, and the two arrived at a small wooden house on the east side of the territory, and went inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw a beautiful white figure sitting on the wooden bed.

She leaned against the bed, her gaze fixed on the window on the other side, only her profile visible.

Although she was still veiled and wearing a white headscarf, her perfect facial features could still be glimpsed.

The golden light emanating from the Golden Ancient Tree shone through the window onto her, making her appear sacred and otherworldly.

The other person also heard the noise at the door, turned their head slightly, revealing a pair of bright emerald green eyes.

When she saw the figure in the wheelchair, she was briefly taken aback, but quickly regained her composure.

"Miss, you're awake?" Shen Xing asked with a smile and a calm tone.

A look of confusion crossed the woman's eyes. "Where... am I?"

Her voice was ethereal and otherworldly, even possessing a unique allure, as if someone were speaking right next to your ear.
